This all seemed correct, but eclipse reported “couldn’t find import for class com.fauxgrammer.model.Player”

I was stumped, couldn’t work out what was going on.
I googled around on the subject(knee-jerk), but i couldn’t find a solution.

After much furrowing of my brow, I found the answer. where else? In google’s documentation. As usual, they were vague on how to use Parcel objects (to me at least).
You must create a separate .aidl file for each class you wish to use within your service that declares that class as parcelable.

so in our example, we need to add Player.aidl to com.fauxgrammer.model
